the only difference between smokers and non-smokers is that smokers don't mind if you don't smoke!

(replace 'smokers' with 'tattoo's' or 'piercings' and you get the same idea, haha!)

and btw, for anyone looking to stop smoking, there is only one thing to keep in mind. the way to successfully quit is to actually WANT to... if you don't want to quit there is no drug in the world that will make you quit. its all in your head.

@relawson: Yes, you have to want to quit. No question, absolutely true.

But no, it's not all in my head.

@92BuickLeSabre: I agree. I try quiting every few months. Some people tried it, are addicted to it, and will carry that addiction with them the rest of their lives. Others will try it, or not try it, never get addicted, and throw insults at people who's addiction they'll never understand.

I pay a good 30k in taxes each year, of which money will go to poor people who don't smoke, or do. I put 1100 or so into the health care systems each month by paying hefty insurance premiums, a lot of which is going to people who couldn't pay their own bills.

I have to look at every one elses ugly face, or sweaty nasty, sometimes hairy or even fat bodies. I have to smell them, listen to their profanity, witness their fights, smell their stank breath because they somehow think that just because they don't smoke they don't need to watch their oral hygene, look at their messes, poorly dressed and often under exercised bodies.

As I've mentioned many times above, just the scent of perfume or cologne or other unatural scents sent me into a painful migrain.

So, they can deal with my stinky smoke smell (though I brush my teeth often enough, and tend not to smoke at work, so usually they don't even have to do that).

@Shamoononon, Vampire Grater: When did someone's BO ever represent a health risk other than having a little discomfort for a few minutes. I think you are comparing apples to oranges there. I don't care if I make a smoker feel bad about their habit especially when I know that it started with a choice at first. I don't think someone stood on top of you and forced you to light up. I could understand if it was the era where the hazards weren't known but given the knowledge we have now why should I feel sorry. I come from a family of smokers but chose not to. Just my opinion of someone who's lost family to smoking related cancer.

@ugadawg: I'm typically a very considerate smoker. Only smoke outdoors, well away from entrances and pathways. Never ever litter my butts, etc. In your case however, I'd be more than happy to make an exception and chain smoke an entire carton; blowing as much of it as I possibly can into your airway, and break into your house at night to dump a years worth of butts into your underwear drawer.
